Leonard Pitts Jr. is just one more "journalist" that doesn't get it. His column on why the U.S. should not have a "truth commission" characterizes the Bush administration as merely incompetent. In many ways it was incompetent, but when it comes to torture, warrantless wiretapping, and other "war on terror" misdeeds, the evidence seems to show that the Bush administration did these things mindfully. Whether or not anyone is convicted, the rule of law requires that we (Americans) investigate this possible law breaking. If we don't at least see if it's prosecutable, why would anyone hesitate to do it again?
